When you smell something, that thing is actually inside you. You can say you smell a flower, but what you're really smelling is some volatile molecules from the flower, and when you smell them they're already inside your nose.

Likewise, when you hear, the sound waves must have already entered your ear.

Even when you see, what you really perceive is light hitting your retina, which is inside your eye.

But when you touch something, that thing is still outside of you. Technically, can also be said of taste if you lick something, but then there's a strong likelyhood of some molecules of the thing entering your mouth as a result.

nor able to sweep up brick dust on the floor for decades because it is "destined" to be reverse-bullet damage that is fixed in the future.

(In the movie, you see them walk into a pre-damaged room that is later 'repaired' by the inverted gunfire that caused it)

Not like, a poisonous ant or anything, I mean how many times has a singular ant domino effected itself into killing a human. Like knocking a napkin off the table that someone then slips on.

whaddya mean i gotta click three times every morning to get my work programs open. I want them open for me!!

Like, i wanna help people is much easier to achieve than i wanna help 10 people.

@showerthoughts Do you need to be patient in order to understand psychotherapy ??

It's just the sweet version of sauerkraut.

Now we can't really know whether or not it was because time travel isn't real or if no one from the future wants to make history by meeting with a pedophile.

Modern physics is all about conserved quantities. Every physical law can be described through an associated conserved quantity. Noether's theorem establishes a connection between the two.

It makes sense to try to copy that approach to biology, or at least it's worth a try. The conserved quantity in a living being is the genetics, i think. Because while the body has cell turnover rate, the information that says how the body is built, is constant. That's why it can be used as a marker and to identify an individual, i.e. when we try to establish whether a person is still the same as they were last year (ship of theseus), we look at whether they have the same blueprint; Similar to how we don't identify a river by the water molecules in it, but by its trajectory on the landscape. And if that shape is still the same, then we call it the same river, independent of whether the water molecules changed. So the abstract shape or blueprint of something is the conserved quantity that we use to define identity, and therefore it's the conserved quantity that is relevant in the system. And that's why it should be considered an important concept, i think.

Actions speak louder than words. His actions in driving up the costs of fossil fuels, and showing the fragility the supply chain, is doing more to persuade other countries to divest from fossil fuels than any words from a sane president ever could. The decline of the US is an example of how it disadvantages a country to continue relying on them, while other countries forge ahead with renewables.

We pretty much always need an outside force to get us to stop.

If all the money ends up in hands of billionaires and their corporations and there will be no money in hands of regular plebs...
Who do you think will have to pay the taxes? Also, the people would figure out a different way of trading or currency. And with that one getting taxed, all the billionaire's money become worthless.

They always make out that it's a free thing and then it's not.
